When a veteran submits a disability claim, they shouldn’t be forced to wait in limbo or navigate endless red tape, but unfortunately this has been their reality for far too long. As a veteran who relies on VA healthcare, I know the overwhelming hurdles we are faced with to get the care and answers we’ve earned. That’s not acceptable. And it’s why we’re working overtime to fix it.

We’ll always have the backs of those who have had ours. I introduced three bills to ease access to necessary health services, to honor service members killed in combat, and to address the ongoing mental health crisis.

It’s been a busy and productive week in Washington, and I’m excited to share updates on the work we’ve been doing to support our law enforcement, rein in wasteful spending, and support American industry.
Check out my latest op-ed in Newsweek for more about how President Trump’s tariff policies are crucial to safeguarding Social Security benefits for generations to come.
This week marks National Infrastructure Week, and it’s a great opportunity to highlight some of our community’s top priorities: clean water, strong infrastructure, and environmental stewardship. As your representative, and a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, I’m focused on delivering real results that improve the quality of life for folks in the Treasure Coast and the Palm Beaches.
Every day, hundreds of thousands of law enforcement officers wake up with one mission in mind: to protect their community. As we head into National Police Week, we honor the brave men and women in blue who put their lives on the line everyday to protect us.
We had some big wins this week here on Capitol Hill: from ending cruel animal testing and a new bill to support veterans, to voting to restore American pride, we are getting things done.
